[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is a not very good 4-year varsity athlete that also played the club sport off-season, so it was a LOT Of hours over 4 years. She put both on her application, and was admitted at her first choice T10 school (not recruited athlete, obviously, as she's not very good). [b]She had a different EC that was more of her "thing" for her applications,[/b] and also a couple other ECs that were more just for fun that she also included. I think it's bad advice to leave it off. I think part of what the college is looking for is the fact that this is a kid that can juggle multiple commitments -- whether that's a sport, or a volunteer activity or just working at McDonalds. If you can keep your grades up while doing something like that, that bodes well for your college career. [/quote] This is what’s important… Yes do the sport. But your kid had so much more….[/quote]
